Microbial soil data from KBS pilot rainout shelter experiment 2019
Growing season drought can be devastating to crop yields. Soil microbial communities have the potential to buffer yield loss under drought through increasing plant drought tolerance and soil water retention. Microbial inoculation on agricultural fields has been shown to increase plant growth, but few studies have examined the impact of microbial inoculation on plant and soil microbial drought tolerance. We conducted a rainout shelter experiment and subsequent greenhouse experiment to explore three objectives. First, we evaluated the performance of a large rainout shelter design for studying drought in agricultural fields. Second, we tested how crop (corn vs. soybean) and microbial inoculation alter the response of soil microbial composition, diversity, and biomass to drought. Third, we tested whether field inoculation treatments and drought exposure altered microbial communities in ways that promote plant drought tolerance in future generations. In our field experiment, the effects of drought on soil bacterial composition depended on crop type, while drought decreased bacterial diversity in corn plots and drought decreased microbial biomass carbon in soybean plots. Microbial inoculation did not alter overall microbial community composition, plant growth or drought tolerance, despite our efforts to address common barriers to inoculation success. Still, a history of inoculation affected growth of future plant generations in the greenhouse. Our study demonstrates the importance of plant species in shaping microbial community responses to drought and the importance of legacy effects of microbial inoculation.
SEA01 Soil extracellular enzyme activity data from the Belowground Plot Experiment
Data describe the activity of soil extracellular enzymes collected approximately every month in 2015 from the Belowground Plot Experiment. The measured enzymes depolymerize soil organic matter to release labile carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Soil carbon and nitrogen were measured in July 2015 only, since these soil variables are not expected to change monthly.
Elevation Gradient (EG) Soil Microbial diversity FAME and TRFLP data
Soil fungal communities respond to multiple abiotic and biotic factors that change along elevation gradients. The limited information available on fungi and microbial processes along elevation gradients is primarily from temperate areas and very few from tropical regions. This study documents changes in fungal and bacterial diversity, and abundance and composition of microbial functional groups along a subtropical elevation gradient.

Wood to Soil 0-10 cm data and Wood to Soil 10-20 cm data to detect the imprint of decaying logs (30-80 cm diameter) from two hurricane cohorts (Hugo, 1989, and Georges, 1998)
Many trees fell during Hurricanes Hugo (1989) and Georges (1998) in Puerto Rico. A debris removal experiment suggested that coarse woody hurricane debris slowed canopy recovery by fueling microbial nitrogen immobilization. We analyzed C, N, microbial biomass C and root length in paired soil samples taken under versus 20-50 cm away from large trunks of two species felled by Hugo and Georges three times during wet and dry seasons during the two years after Georges. Data on soil P and other nutrients have not yet been analyzed. Soil microbial biomass, C and N were higher under than near logs of both age cohorts. Frass from wood boring beetles may induce the early effects. Root length was greater under logs at 0-10 cm depth during the dry season, and away from logs in the wet season, but varied independently of microbial biomass. Thus decaying wood can provide resources exploited by tree roots. Percent soil C and N were significantly higher under than near logs in both the 0-10 and 10-20 cm samples. Microbial biomass C varied significantly among seasons at 0-10 cm depth but differences between positions (under vs away) were only suggestive. Surface soil on the upslope side of the logs had significantly more N and microbial biomass, likely from accumulation of leaf litter above the logs on steep slopes. This study shows that C and N accumulate significantly more in soil under than near decaying logs, even in logs that had only decayed for 7 months, and thus contributes to soil heterogeneity. Tree roots track and exploit resource and nutrient hotspots as they change locations between seasons, so the soil heterogeneity in soil fertility is important for forest productivity. Soil phosphorus (P) availability is most often the most limiting nutrient in wet tropical forests. Total soil P was measured by complete digestion in samples from the upper 10 cm; Olsen extractable P (available) was also measured. Total soil P concentrations were significantly greater under than away fr

Luquillo canopy trimming experiment - meteorological data, soil sensor, and cannopy measurements
The data archive is here: https://doi.org/10.2737/RDS-2019-0051 please use this DOI when citing this dataset. This data publication contains average daily means for field and satellite data from 3 treated and 3 control plots from the Canopy Trimming Experiment (CTE) located near El Verde Field Station (419 meters; 18°20’ N, 65°49’ W) in the Luquillo Experimental Forest (El Yunque National Forest), Puerto Rico collected from 2003 through 2019. In spring of 2005 (CTE1) and December of 2014 (CTE2), in 0.09 hectare (ha) square plots near the El Verde Field Station the forest canopy was trimmed and the canopy debris was littered to the forest floor. The plot size and trim amounts were based on the patch disturbance after the two most recent hurricanes before 2017, both category 3 hurricanes at the location of El Verde: Hugo in September 1989, and Georges in September 1998 (Zimmerman et al. 2014). Details of the trimming and littering treatment, as well as the biotic response to the 2005 experiment have been extensively documented (Richardson et al. 2010; Shiels et al. 2014, 2015; Shiels and González 2014). The data were collected in the inner 0.04 ha quadrants of the 0.09 ha trimmed plots to minimize edge effects. There were 3 sets of control and treated plots, with each set near El Verde field station. Field data include: solar radiation, throughfall, air temperature, soil temperature, relative humidity shallow soil, volumetric water content, soil profile volumetric water content, canopy leaf saturation, litter leaf saturation, and above canopy air temperature. Satellite data include: Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) leaf area index converted into solar radiation, MODIS land surface temperature, and Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR) soil volumetric water content. \<para\> Support for this work was provided by grants BSR-8811902, DEB-9411973, DEB-9705814 , DEB-0080538, DEB-0218039 , DEB-0620910 , DEB-1239764, DEB-1546686, and DEB-1831952
Geochemical, physicochemical, and genomic data from a continental-scale survey of microbial diversity in Antarctic soils (2003-2023)
This data package offers comprehensive insights into Antarctic soil microbial diversity and composition. From 2003 to 2023, a total of 186 samples were collected from diverse locations spanning the Antarctic Peninsula to East Antarctica, representing a wide range of environmental gradients and climatic conditions. Soils were stored at -20°C to preserve their integrity for downstream analyses. This data package integrates cultivation-independent sequencing of prokaryotic and fungal communities alongside a robust cultivation-dependent culture collection to enable direct comparisons across microbial diversity assessment methods. Accompanying geochemical, physicochemical, and environmental parameters provide critical context for biogeographical analyses, offering a valuable resource for studying microbial adaptations and community dynamics in extreme Antarctic environments.
Soil biota data from the Pulse-Press Project (P3), McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica (2010-2020)
Climate warming in polar regions is associated with thawing of permafrost, resulting in significant changes in soil hydrology, biogeochemical cycling, and in the activity and composition of soil communities. While ongoing, directional climate warming can elicit such responses over decadal time scales, their manifestation typically occurs as discrete thawing pulses. Indeed, in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica abrupt changes in community structure and biogeochemical cycling in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems following a summer warming event (Jan. 2002) exceeded the influences of a decadal cooling trend in both magnitude and rate of response. Thus, we anticipate that climate-mediated permafrost changes and their associated impacts on soil communities and biogeochemical cycles may occur over seasonal time scales. Our objective is to simulate different frequencies of permafrost thawing events in Antarctic permafrost soils. Since the top horizons of most Antarctic soils are dry permafrost (i.e., there is insufficient water content to generate ice-cement), with ice-cement or massive ice typically below 30 cm, permafrost thawing events are likely to result in subsurface movements of water that may manifest as groundwater seeps down gradient.
Supplemental soil moisture and temperature data from the saddle catchment sensor network, 2019 - 2021.
Hand-held soil moisture measurements were taken at 8 of 16 soil moisture sensors within the sensor network at Niwot Ridge to supplement the continuous measurement system at these locations. The hand-held measurements occur much less frequently than the 10 min sensor data, but they are important in determining the spatial variability of soil moisture in the alpine.
Monsoon Rainfall Manipulation Experiment (MRME): Soil Temperature Data from the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, NM
The Monsoon Rainfall Manipulation Experiment (MRME) is to understand changes in ecosystem structure and function of a semiarid grassland caused by increased precipitation variability, which alters the pulses of soil moisture that drive primary productivity, community composition, and ecosystem functioning. The overarching hypothesis being tested is that changes in event size and variability will alter grassland productivity, ecosystem processes, and plant community dynamics. These data are soil temperature data collected at two depths.
Monsoon Rainfall Manipulation Experiment (MRME) Soil Temperature, Moisture and Carbon Dioxide Data from the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico
The Monsoon Rainfall Manipulation Experiment (MRME) is designed to understand changes in ecosystem structure and function of a semiarid grassland caused by increased precipitation variability, by altering rainfall pulses, and thus soil moisture, that drive primary productivity, community composition, and ecosystem functioning. The overarching hypothesis being tested is that changes in event size and frequency will alter grassland productivity, ecosystem processes, and plant community dynamics. Treatments include (1) a monthly addition of 20 mm of rain in addition to ambient, and a weekly addition of 5 mm of rain in addition to ambient during the months of July, August and September. It is predicted that changes in event size and variability will alter grassland productivity, ecosystem processes, and plant community dynamics. In particular, we predict that many small events will increase soil CO2 effluxes by stimulating microbial processes but not plant growth, whereas a small number of large events will increase aboveground NPP and soil respiration by providing sufficient deep soil moisture to sustain plant growth for longer periods of time during the summer monsoon.
